Another use of slow motion cinematography is when you use scale models, and want liquids, explosions and gravity to look like natural speed at full scale. That's a technical rather than narrative use of slow motion.

[@StudioBinder]

Good point!

[@divanesh979]

Dredd (2012) has some of the BEST Slo-mo scenes and the Soundtrack that accompanies it

[@StudioBinder]

Great application!

[@SWFanatics]

The slo mo bits in the action scenes in Deadpool are really good as well.

[@vivekthegenius]

If your are talking Slo-Mo, you can't help but talk John Woo. Another nice video from the house of StudioBinder.

[@StudioBinder]

He's one of the best at it!

[@SilverRAM777]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has my favorite slow mo scene! The running through the woods scene is so epic!!

[@StudioBinder]

🔥💯

[@reggiefurlow1]

The slow mo explosion walk away shot is always a classic

[@StudioBinder]

Action classic

[@miguelfmyers]

I love the way Martin scorsese does his slow motion scenes. They always feel epic and like a true painting come to life.

[@StudioBinder]

One of the best ever users of it!

[@monalpatel2009]

Zack Snyder is the GOAT of slow motion shots. Always so beautiful to look at. A truly visual master.

[@StudioBinder]

No one does slo-mo like him 😃

[@spinsandneedles]

There's a great slow-normal-slow motion shot in Le Mans with Steve McQueen, and also a lot of great slo mo in Ron Howard's Backdraft. The fire combined with lighting, sound, and filming techniques becomes a character. One of the greatest uses of slo mo in recent years is in Killing Me Softly. Perhaps it is not an "action" film but the Brad Pitt/Ray Liotta shooting in the rain is as good as any film ever made. It's interesting too that the song Love Letters In The Sand made for just the right music and was in fact used before Killing Me Softly years before by David Lynch in the shoot-out scene in Blue Velvet, also employing slow motion, particularly with window glass. Great video StudioBinder!

[@StudioBinder]

Great examples!

[@spinsandneedles]

Glad you like them! I really think they are as memorable as the other great choices in the video. Since exactly the same music was used in the two films I mentioned, I would love to see them played side-by-side. It would be remarkable. There are probably other movies with an interesting take on the same song too. Well, not to sound sappy but it's just wonderful to see the various subjects showcased here and to see the discussions afterwards by so many people knowledgeable about movies. It's kind of amazing how those memorable scenes from movies stay with us. @@StudioBinder

[@Django-uy8df]

Could you please explain the process of shooting the fight sequence in the clip from 'Immortals', where there is a mixture of slow motion and actual pace. Have always been curious about such a shot.

[@StudioBinder]

If the different speeds were in one shot then that's a speed ramp

[@ZanderDaSilva]

@StudioBinder - I'm loving your videos & have learned so much from them. Any chance you could make a video on how to include/write subplots? Especially relating to your video on the 3 Act structure? Thanks!

[@okikiadeduyite9205]

So which is better? Slo mo during filming or in Post?

[@ScaredStraightProductions]

During. It's better to shoot at the frame rate your trying to aim for. Using 24fps and slowing it down makes your footage jittery.

[@StudioBinder]

You'd have to set the higher frame rate during shooting so you have enough frame for a smooth slow motion in post

[@patrickbateman7524]

sometimes I notice there's a little slow-motion effect used at the end of films, like Arrival. At what frames such scenes are shot?

[@RodrickMarsMoon]

Film director here. Depends a lot on the director's intention. In my case, I like shooting slow-motion in 48fps, so the shots can look as great as possible easily.

One of the few things that hasn't stood the test of time from Lord of the Rings is the "Not filmed for slow motion, but presented in slow motion" sequences. Thankfully they're few and far between. (We won't mention the GoPro footage in The Hobbit. Or The Hobbit in general)

[@AverageWhiteGuy101]

Genuine question: Why film in higher frame rate and then slow the footage down? Why not just film at 24 fps and then slow the footage down?
